In early 2013 upon leaving her post as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was required by law to turn over all work related emails to the State Department to assure she, and they, complied with public records laws and could appropriately respond to any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Clinton did not turn over any emails. It wasn’t until nearly two years later Clinton was forced into releasing her them. In December of 2014 her legal team went through her emails to determine which were public and which might be private. According to the FBI, the lawyers ​did not individually read the

content of all of her e-mails, as the FBI did for those available to them; instead, they relied on header information and used search terms to try to find all work-related e-mails among the reportedly more than 60,000 total e-mails remaining on Secretary Clinton’s personal system in 2014. They ultimately deleted more than half and turned over the remaining emails, not electronically, but in printed format, on more than 55,000 sheets of paper.

In March of 2015 Clinton appeared before the media at the United Nations and assured the public she was hiding nothing, that she set up a server in her basement only as a matter of convenience and only used one device during her time as Secretary of State. She also famously claimed there was no classified content in her emails. None proved true.

Hillary’s press conference raised more questions than it answered and it wasn’t long before the public grew familiar with the name James Comey. Comey is the Director of the FBI. He was appointed to the position in 2013 by President Obama for a ten-year term. Comey reports to the Attorney General and her Justice Department.

The FBI began to investigate Hillary, her emails, the disappearance of more than half of them and a wide variety of convoluted and confusing side stories. As the process unfolded legal minds and political pundits kept predicting the FBI would have a direction and announcement on what they found. First it was predicted an announcement would be before the end of 2015. Then it was early 2016 prior to the primary season. Finally the predictions just stopped. The primaries came and went and there was no word from the FBI. Comey’s only public comment was that it would take as long as it took and politics would play no role in the investigation.

News agencies were careful to point out that with more than 30,000 emails to review, there could be no rush. That volume of content meant it could take an extremely long time. Privately, my sources assured me James Comey was a top-notch professional and politics wouldn’t possibly effect him. I was told by one former US Attorney that he thought Comey would sooner resign than compromise the integrity of the office.

Finally in July 2016, after nearly 18 months of FBI investigation, James Comey stepped to the microphone in front of an anxious media and American public. What he said wasn’t particularly complimentary of Hillary Clinton. It turned out that thousands of her emails did indeed contain classified material. The FBI investigation found poor security on her personal server and considered it extremely likely that Hillary’s server had been breeched by foreign interests.

Specifically speaking about Clinton and her staff Comey said “...there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.” None of this could bode well for a presidential candidate.

Except it did. After pointing out in detail how Clinton’s ignorance and arrogance had compromised American security and classified information Comey stunned everyone who heard the details he had just revealed by closing with “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information...” the FBI would not recommend prosecution. Apparently the rules didn’t apply to Hillary.

Team Clinton proclaimed victory. They ignored the part about violation of statutes and national security and instead twisted Comey’s words to suggest she had been cleared on every question. Democrats were overjoyed, Republicans were furious and the public was just plain bewildered. Depending on your affiliation Comey became a hero or a goat.

Comey’s 15 minutes of fame had just begun to fade in late October when he burst back on the scene. With just 11 days to go until the election Comey sent a letter to Congress announcing that an FBI investigation into pervert Anthony Weiner’s sexting to an underage girl had oddly enough turned up 650,000 emails that appeared to be related to the Clinton investigation. The Hillary investigation was reopened.

This time it was the Democrats outraged at Comey. How could he possibly raise the issue so close to election day? Was he playing politics? Republican nominee Donald Trump himself said it was a chance for Comey and company at the FBI to get it right this time, to right their previous wrong.

The same pundits who had been surprised at how long the review of the initial 30,000 emails had taken wouldn’t even fathom a guess at how long it would take to go through 650,000. They needn’t have worried. Magically, twenty times the number of emails of the original inquiry took only nine days to exhaustively review. Do the math and that's slightly more than one email per second 24/7 for nine nonstop days.

What? You read that right. Nine days after his letter to Congress announcing the 650,000 emails, Comey closed the book again. 48 hours before the election America has been told that in just nine days the FBI was able to determine there was nothing to see in those 650,000.

Either Comey delayed the initial investigation, rushed the more recent glance or is just making it up as he goes along. What is for certain is that he has incredibly bad political instincts and far more importantly, has jettisoned any credibility the Bureau had left under his leadership.

With no consistency and no credibility, a Comey led FBI is a shadow of itself. The fine men and women serving in the bureau deserve better.

A nation of laws requires competent leadership at its top law enforcement investigative agency. Comey has demonstrated he doesn’t have that to offer. Regardless of of which candidate becomes the 45th President, Comey must go.

I am told he is an honorable man. If he is, he’ll resign before Thanksgiving. At this point it’s his only honorable path.

First we were told men wanting to marry men was normal. Consenting adults, we were told, should be able to commit to anyone they want. Why that had to be under the traditional title of marriage was never made clear, but none the less, gay marriage won the day and a segment of Americans has now accepted it as normal.​More recently, transgender has been forced upon society as the new normal. Not only men dressing as women, but men and women slicing off body parts and crafting new genitalia, all in the name of how an individual “feels” about his or her gender. What God created be damned. Normal, we’re told. In fact, Barack Obama believes you and I should pay for it as a regular coverage in Obamacare insurance requirements.

Virile teenage boys curious about the girls’ showers? They need only declare they are feeling feminine and in Barack Obama’s world, they can waltz into the girl's school locker room and soap up right next to your daughter. That’s normal the President says.

So what could possibly be next? What is the next normal?

Pedophilia.

I kid you not. Pedophiles are now “coming out” and declaring their sexual proclivity for children is just how they were created. After all, they tell us, who would choose to be that way? That logic sounds alarmingly familiar.

A writer for the liberal publication SALON has come forward and announced to the world he is a pedophile. Todd Nickerson waxes nostalgic about seeing a beautiful little five year old girl and thinking “wow!”. He tries to comfort us by sharing that she was very precocious, very advanced for a five year old and very independent. He says all of that with a straight face. He justifies his sexual attraction to a five year old by saying she was very advanced for her age.

Nickerson says his purpose in life is to help others like him...other pedophiles...to express themselves and to come out in the open. Listen to that carefully. His purpose is to normalize those that are sexually attracted to children. Sound crazy? It wasn’t all that long ago we said the same thing about cross dressers and transvestites. Now they are “normal”.

It seems Nickerson isn’t alone in his effort to normalize those with perverted thoughts about children. There is a new web site put together specifically for what they call “virtuous pedophiles”. The site has two founders that come out by telling their stories and encouraging communication from like minded individuals. Both say they were molested as kids, but doubt whether that had anything to do with their twisted thoughts. They want others to realize there are many like them…that they are…dare I say it…normal.

Todd Nickerson blames society for not being understanding and ultimately says that we need to find a middle ground where society and pedophiles can come together.

No we don’t.

When I stood up for traditional marriage between a man and a woman, as it had been for thousands of years, I was accused of being hateful or phobic. Neither is accurate. When I spoke out that transgender individuals need psychiatric care, not the reshaping of society or of their body parts to fit their whims I was accused of being intolerant.

Now comes the next step down the dark hall of normalizing what clearly isn’t. Pedophiles. On this one, if you accuse me of hate or anger, you just may be right. Society does not need to find a middle ground to placate sexual deviants that get off on innocent children. ​Keep an eye out however, for that same progressive group that has stepped forward in the name of tolerance in the past. It appears pedophilia is the next normal for them.

All the talk this week was whether the GOP may be headed for a contested convention…and if so, what constitutes "fair".

The facts are simple. In order to secure the GOP nomination you must get more than half of the delegates. In this case, the magic number is 1237. The ideal situation is that you earn more than half during the primary process. But if you don't have half, you don't have the nomination. Period.

Delegates are bound to vote for a candidate according to how the primary process went in their state…but only on the first ballot. If after the first ballot no one has 1237 or more, all bets are off. Delegates can vote for anyone.

That's when the horse trading begins. Who would be the best President? Who can beat the Democrat nominee? Who will fly me on his private plane? Those are all questions the delegates will ask themselves. Meanwhile the media will paint a picture of chaos and discontent, but the fact is, either you have a majority of delegates or you don't. If you don't, you're not entitled to anything other than a continued fight for the nomination.

We're watching history unfold in 2016, but ironically what's being touted as chaos may be an entertaining testament to following the rules.
